about

The Virtuoso Performing Arts Theatre was founded in 2009 by Megan Ireland and Jacob Ruscoe. Megan and Jacob have over two decades of experience in theatrical productions. They have written, directed, produced, and performed in countless shows. They have brought their wealth of talent and experience to create a theatre that will be unparalleled unlike any other.

The mission and vision of Virtuoso is found in its definition and can be expressed in a singular term – Exceptional. Exceptional is what you will experience at every production our theatre produces. Our goal is take the typical theatrical experience and from that create shows that touch every sense of your being. At Virtuoso it will not matter if you are seeing a production for the first time or the tenth time because we promise you the Virtuoso version will be unlike anything you have seen or experienced before. But don’t just take our word for it.

Read what some of our theatre patrons had to say:

“It was simply the greatest show I have ever seen. I could not stop laughing. From beginning to end, it was truly amazing!” ~ Ruth Thomas, Sarasota, FL

“Now that is what I call theatre! You simply did not know what to expect. I was hanging on every word and as soon as I thought I knew what was coming next, I was thrown for a curve. Just an absolute marvel of skill and perfection. You had me the whole time and I simply loved it.” ~ Christopher Akin, St. Petersburg, FL

“The play was absoultely amazing! I felt like I was in NYC! The costumes, make-up, actors, and singers were all so incredible. I can't wait for your next performance.” ~ Michelle Giddens, Venice, FL

“It is hard to believe something could be delivered with such intensity. I felt like I was right there. It is something that I will never forget.” ~ James Stickney, Savannah, GA
